Spaghetti with Salmon, Asparagus & Herbs
This recipe features bright green asparagus. This pasta, accented with a fresh combination of lemon & mixed herbs is topped with heart-healthy salmon.
Tips | Make your own garlic-flavoured canola oil by gently warming 1/4 cup (50 mL) oil with 2 lightly crushed cloves garlic until fragrant. Strain out cloves and use oil within 1 day. (Additional flavours such as herbs and hot pepper flakes can also be added to taste.) |
Replace the salmon with your favourite fish such as rainbow trout, cod, or tilapia (adjust the cooking time as needed). |

Étapes de cuisson
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F (200°C). Arrange salmon on a baking sheet. Brush with 1 tbsp (15 mL) flavoured oil and season with half the salt and pepper. Roast for 10 to 12 minutes or until fish flakes when tested with a knife.

Step 2
Meanwhile, cook spaghetti according to package directions. Add asparagus during the last 4 minutes of cooking. Drain well.

Step 3
Finely grate zest from lemon. Toss warm pasta and asparagus with tomatoes, herbs, radishes, green onion, lemon zest and remaining salt and pepper.

Step 4
Cut zested lemon in half. Squeeze one lemon half and drizzle remaining oil over pasta mixture; toss to coat. Transfer to bowls and top each portion with salmon. Squeeze remaining lemon half over salmon fillets before serving.
